Ordinance Exhibit DOrdinanceExhibitD DOWNTOWN RIVERFRONT LAND USE COMPONENTS CA 19-1,RA 19-1,Z 19-5,WG 19-3,ST 19-3,and SDR 19-2 April 19,2019 F.14 Address the mobility and safety needs of motorists,transit users,bicyclists, pedestrians,and the needs of emergency vehicles when planning and constructing roadway system improvements. F.15 Motor vehicle level of service policy: Use motor vehicle level of service standards to maintain acceptable and reliable performance on the roadway system.These standards shall be used for: a. (1)Identifying capacity deficiencies on the roadway system. (2)Evaluating the impacts on roadways of amendments to transportation plans,acknowledged comprehensive plans and land-use regulations,pursuant to the TPR (OAR 660-012 0060). (3)Evaluating development applications for consistency with the land-use regulations of the applicable local government jurisdiction. b.Acceptable and reliable performance is defined by the following levels of service under peak hour traffic conditions:LOS E within Eugene's Central Area Transportation Study (CATS)area,and LOS D elsewhere. Performance standards from the OHP shall be applied on state facilities in the Eugene-Springfield metropolitan area. c. In some cases,the level of service on a facility may be substandard.The local government jurisdiction may find that transportation system improvements to bring performance up to standard within the planning horizon may not be feasible,and safety will not be compromised,and broader community goals would be better served by allowing a substandard level of service.The limitation on the feasibility of a transportation system improvement may arise from severe constraints,including but not limited to environmental conditions,lack of public agency financial resources,or land use constraint factors.It is not the intent ofTSI Roadway Policy #2;Motor Vehicle Level of Service to require deferral of development in such cases.The intent is to defer motor vehicle capacity increasing transportation system improvements until existing constraints can be overcome or develop an alternative mix of strategies (such as:land use measures,TDM,short-term safety improvements) to address the problem. This proposal adheres to existing development standards of roadways which implement effective design that address safety concerns and service access needs. As detailed in Exhibit P:TIA Exempt Area Expansion Memorandum,in 2013,the City Council established the boundaries of the EC 9.8670 Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA)Exempt Area to include the Downtown Plan area,except for the property owned by EWEB.At that time,the EWEB site was not serviced by a gridded street pattern and the potential redevelopment was unknown.
